NAICS 311513 and Minnesota as a cheese join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $139,331,408.48 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 311513 is cheese manufacturing, not fluid milk manufacturing and not dry, condensed, and evaporated dairy products. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 311513 total. Those parent tables live on Minnesota federal spending and NAICS 311513.
293 awards against $139.3 million is a mid-thick dairy-manufacturing cell rather than a single commodity vehicle. 293 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 293 lines. Reading 293 as factories, ships, or clinics in Minnesota would confuse actions with establishments.
Minnesota industries lists other NAICS codes with MN place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $139,331,408.48. The headline remains $139,331,408.48 on 293 awards for this pair alone.
Cheese manufacturing, not fluid milk
NAICS 311513 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 311513 is cheese manufacturing, not fluid milk manufacturing and not dry, condensed, and evaporated dairy products. Fluid milk manufacturing (311511) and dry, condensed, and evaporated dairy product manufacturing (311514) are different codes. Those neighboring codes never enter $139,331,408.48 unless they also appear as 311513, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Minnesota cell.
Dairy folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Unique contractors are unpublished. Dividing $139,331,408.48 by 293 produces about $475,534. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Minnesota contract. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted unit price.
Minnesota geography on a cheese cell
Minnesota place of performance can cover the Twin Cities, Greater Minnesota plants, or a reporting address in Rochester. The packet has no site split. Inside the MN tag, named cities are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $139,331,408.48 only if its awards carry NAICS 311513 and MN — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Minnesota, and a Minnesota address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. Minnesota federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for Minnesota 311513
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $139,331,408.48 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 293 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 311513 in Minnesota as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the cheese–Minnesota pair does not prove
The cheese–Minnesota pair does not prove that Minnesota specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Dairy folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Unique contractors are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 311513 and Minnesota.
How to cite NAICS 311513 in Minnesota
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 311513 (Cheese Manufacturing), Minnesota (MN), $139,331,408.48, and 293 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Minnesota federal spending, NAICS 311513, Minnesota industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $475,534 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse this state-industry snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote.
